Forums - Sales - Gamestop: DSi preorder double the original DS

Well seems like the DSi is going to be big in NA

We've seen some pretty brisk pre-orders on DSi. It's probably double where we were on the original DS, as far as reservation activity, so we're expecting some great things from that.

It's a flop cause it wouldn't sell a trillion units on day 1 as they expect it to.

Some people have unrealistic expectations on how certain game/system would sell and will call it a flop as long as it does not meet his/her expectation.

 



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

There have been a couple of unfamiliar accounts claiming that a lot of things have or will flopped based on their own outrageous sales predictions and then become highly critical because of it. This is normal practice for trolls on hyped games but it's been happening a lot more frequently here in the past few weeks.

i got mine pre-order, but not on game stop. Got it from amazon, free shipping no tax xD good



The original DS opened with 550K first week. If DSi keeps that pattern it will just sell 1.1M (advanced math in work)

 

 

 For a comparison

 

Wii; 530K

Ps3; 155K

X360; 532K

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

The DSi is riding off the insane popularity of the DSL, something the original (and fugly) DS didn't enjoy, lol.

Today a mom came in to pre-order the DSi for her 7 year old daughter who already has a DSL. And what's really crazy is that the family looked dirt broke. 0_o

One more DS reincarnation after this one and the DS claims the crown of the most versions of a single gaming machine I own.
Which is still owned by three differently colored GameCubes.
Or like Rol would say: I am a SHEEP.
